Okay, my mom is practiclly forcing me to go to homecoming. I really don't want to go, because I don't have a date, and theres no guy I would feel comfortable going with. But the problem is that she already saved up all this money for a dress and accessories and shoes and she is looking at things like hairstylists. I don't know how to tell her that I just don't care and that I don't want to go. Help me please!! I rate high!

Tell her you'd like to use the money for a dance you really do care about going to and looking nice.
It'll probably be hard for her to hear that, but I think if you really think about what you want to say, how you're going to say it, and if you don't blow up at her over it, then I think you can probably at least make her listen to you.
I guess if you really wanted to think ahead to something you might really want to spend it on you could say that you'd like to make your senior prom dance a really big and expensive thing.
Obviously, I don't know how your mother will react to any of this that you might choose to tell her, but I'm just throwing out suggestions.
